SAN DIEGO & GÖTEBORG, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DriveCam,
Inc. today announced that Volvo Group Venture Capital, a subsidiary
to the Volvo Group, has made a strategic investment in DriveCam, a
global driver risk management company. Through the investment, Volvo
Group becomes a minority shareholder in the company.

“Volvo Group and DriveCam have a common vision - to reduce traffic
accidents worldwide,” says Johan Carlsson, President of Volvo Group
Venture Capital. “Complementary to our leading position in the global
truck manufacturing market, Volvo Group is also focused on the human
element in reducing accidents, an area where DriveCam is a clear leader.
This strategic investment enables the commercial vehicle industry to
benefit from our collaborative development efforts, while it also
supports the Volvo Group’s vision to become the world leader in
sustainable transport solutions.”

“Volvo Group and DriveCam both believe that there is only one acceptable
number of accidents in driving – zero,” said DriveCam Chairman and CEO
Brandon Nixon. “And since the human element plays a role in nine out of
10 accidents, the driver risk management solutions that DriveCam has
pioneered are essential to both companies reaching our common goal of
zero accidents on the road.”

For several decades, Volvo Group has studied and analyzed a large number
of accidents involving trucks. This information has been, and still is,
one of the most important bases for the design and development of Volvo
Group’s trucks. These investigations have resulted in numerous safety
related improvements already in place in today’s trucks.

DriveCam prevents collisions and reduces fuel costs by improving the way
people drive. DriveCam’s solution addresses the causes of poor driving
by combining data and video analytics with real-time driver feedback and
coaching.

Volvo Group Venture Capital is part of the Volvo Group. With the
objective of accelerating new business growth, Volvo Group Venture
Capital invests in companies driving service orientation and product
differentiation in the transport industry.

Volvo Group has agreed with DriveCam not to disclose the details of the
transaction. The transaction has no significant impact on the Volvo
Group’s earnings or financial position.
